  •  Potential energy is in stretched bows.
  • Kinetic energy is used when people throw stuff.
  • We will teach these subjects by creating a machine that will have chain reactions. To teach this also see:

Notes : Definition, use in sentence, teaching way, image
Mechanical- is the sum of energy in a mechanical system
Thermal- energy caused by heat
Chemical- energy held in the covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule __http://www.historyoftheuniverse.com/chemener.html__
Electromagnetic- a form of energy present in any magnetic field, or in any volume containing electromagnetic radiation
Acoustic- disturbance of energy that comes through matters as a wave
Nuclear- energy that results from the nuclear reaction when putting two atoms together or splitting one in half(fission)
Electric- the presence and flow of an electric charge; the energy portion of electricity is found in a variety of phenomena such as static electricity, electromagnetic fields and lightning

Thermal Energy

*Thermal energy is generated and measured by heat of any kind.
*It is cause by an increase of activity or velocity of molecules in a substance, which in turn causes temperature to rise accordingly
*Can be transferred from one object to another
*The thermal energy of the stove cause the water inside the pot to boil.
*We will teach about thermal energy by showing images and explaining what they mean.

Acoustic Energy

*Acoustic energy is sound.
*We can teach it by giving an example of sound and explaining it.
Example: The acoustic energy produced by that horn hurts my ears.

Mechanical Energy

*It's the most common energy, because it's used every time you move or use your body to move something.
*We can teach mechanical energy by showing examples of it and explaining it.
Example:I like mechanical energy because it lets me move.
